blood cells
Red bone marrow functions in the formation of
maintaining blood calcium levels
Regulatory functions of the skeletal system include:
osteons
Ring layers of bone are referred to as
trabeculae
Spongy bone is made up of a network of bony rods or plates called
upper and lower limbs, shoulders, and hips
The appendicular skeleton consists of the:
periosteum
The connective tissue covering the outer surface of a bone is the
3, 1, 4, 5, 2
The following are major steps in the process of endochondral ossification: 1. Blood vessels invade the perichondrium 2. Osteoclasts create a marrow cavity 3. Chondrocytes enlarge and calcify 4. Osteoblasts replace calcified cartilage with spongy bone 5. The perichondrium is converted into periosteum, and the inner layer produces bone The correct order for these events is:
endosteum
